Lincoln Center's community of performing artists, global presentations,
and Lincoln Center Institute's educational expertise, as well as Lincoln

planning stages include one on the acclaimed List Poster and Print
Program and a series of family focused concert going companion books.

Reynold Levy, President, Lincoln Center commented, "Lincoln Center has
been providing audiences with an exceptional range of world class
performing arts presentations over the years, and we look forward to
mining our unparalleled creative resources to bring, together with
Wiley, the Lincoln Center experience to millions of people, including
those who are less familiar with what we have to offer on our stages and
in the classroom. This multimedia publishing partnership represents an
important dimension of the continuing transformation of Lincoln Center,
especially as we approach our 50th anniversary in 2009."

Stephen Kippur, EVP Wiley and President of Wiley's professional and
trade publishing division states, "We're excited about the Lincoln
Center partnership because it gives us immediate strength in the
performing arts arena including music, opera, dance, and film, among
